was challenged by city councillor Barbara Hall
, the first time a race for mayor saw two female front-runners. Though the candidates were nominally independent, Rowlands was backed by the right-wing consisting of a coalition of right-wing Liberals
and Progressive Conservatives
(Rowlands herself was a member of the Liberal Party]) while Hall was backed by New Democrats
, left-wing Liberals and Red Tories
. Hall had been a member of the City NDP
caucus on city council and had been an NDP candidate in the 1987 provincial election
.
As a consequence of Jack Layton
's failure to win the mayoralty as an official NDP candidate in the 1991 election
, Hall preferred to run without a party label and included prominent Liberals such as George Smitherman
on her campaign team.
Rowlands' tenure as Mayor had resulted in criticism by many of her supporters, particularly those on the right. Her decision to ban the Barenaked Ladies
, a rock band, from performing at Nathan Phillips Square
because their name might be considered sexist was seen as both pandering to political correctness
and evidence that she was out of touch with contemporary culture. Her allegedly slow response to a riot on Yonge Street
following the acquittal of the police who beat Rodney King
also made her appear "out of touch".
Rowlands's campaign was hurt by the candidacy of Gerry Meinzer, a businessman and political novice who, though he never had the support or organization needed to win, succeeded in taking enough votes from the Rowlands' centre-right coalition to ensure her defeat.
